Lu HaiKong had never considered himself an intelligent person, especially in this era of prodigies and monsters. Compared to some of the extraordinary individuals in the Three Kingdoms period, Lu HaiKong's current IQ probably matched that of an elementary school student.
Realizing this, Lu HaiKong had long ago accepted that when faced with unexpected situations, hesitation would only lead to worse outcomes. It was best to follow his instincts and not second-guess himself.
So, when the Yin County Troops blocked his path, Lu HaiKong acted without hesitation, crushing them to satisfy his heart's desire.
However, while this action brought him a sense of satisfaction, it would undoubtedly infuriate the government. The impending crackdown, which might have taken longer to materialize, was now likely to commence sooner.
Lu HaiKong couldn't do much about it. At Hei Feng Zhai, two-thirds of his bandit forces and a substantial amount of supplies were gathered.
With the crackdown looming, obtaining those supplies would become more challenging. Perhaps the batch of supplies at Hei Feng Zhai would be the last significant acquisition for Lu HaiKong in the foreseeable future.
Lu HaiKong couldn't afford to abandon his bandits, supplies, or the warriors like Wang Ti. So, he decided to go all out.
The journey from the Mountain Camp to Hei Feng Zhai was only a dozen or so miles, and Lu HaiKong's group consisted entirely of bandits on horseback. Even with the Strong Yin County Troops blocking their path, they arrived at Hei Feng Zhai within an hour.
However, despite Lu HaiKong's haste, he was still too late. By the time he reached Hei Feng Zhai, it had already fallen. Pei Yuan Shao's forces were inside, organizing the camp's supplies, awaiting their transport team to carry them away.
Lu HaiKong's group made no attempt to conceal their movements, so Pei Yuan Shao's forces were already aware of their approach before they reached Hei Feng Zhai.
"Hey, this group of bandits arrived much faster than expected. Let's go greet them!" Pei Yuan Shao, still craving more action after the previous battle, eagerly welcomed Lu HaiKong's group.
When Lu HaiKong arrived, Pei Yuan Shao was already waiting at the camp's entrance with his cavalry.
"You've arrived just in time. I hadn't even warmed up yet, and these useless fellows were already killed. Now I feel restless. Who's going to make me feel better?"
Upon seeing Lu HaiKong's group, Pei Yuan Shao rode forward, holding two bloody heads in his hands. As he spoke, he tossed the heads to the ground at Lu HaiKong's feet.
The sight of those two heads caused Lu HaiKong's eyes to redden instantly. He recognized them as the heads of Wang Xing and Wang Tian, his comrades for half a year. Despite their lack of talent, they had been with him for six months, and he couldn't help but feel enraged at their deaths.
Lu HaiKong lifted his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Pei Yuan Shao. As he assessed the other's attributes, he rode forward.

Lu HaiKong was surprised to find that the person before him was a historical warrior.
Having the audacity to kill his own man, this fellow must pay the price!
"Kid, what are you doing here? With those scrawny arms and legs, you still look like a baby who hasn't been weaned. I suggest you go back, or else I'll send you to your grave with one swing of my blade!" Upon seeing Lu HaiKong's youthful appearance and lacking the aura expected of a warrior of his level, Pei Yuanshao scoffed.
Lu HaiKong remained silent, directly opening his Attribute Panel and, without hesitation, slamming the Wild Wolf Body Tempering Fist to level 5!
Lu HaiKong was well aware that the man before him was no pushover. Although Pei Yuanshao was a mediocre existence in other Three Kingdoms games, his 70 Strength points and five skills above level 20 were proof that he wasn't an easy opponent.
Lu HaiKong had a premonition that this fellow might be the strongest enemy he had faced so far, so he could only adjust his state to its best condition.
However, as the skill level increased, the required experience for each upgrade skyrocketed. Lu HaiKong had already spent 100,000 experience to raise his Simplified Wolf Body Cultivation Fist from level 3 to almost level 4, and the jump to level 5 cost him a whopping 800,000 experience.
In the 1619 version, the book's content was flawless!
The experience required for the two-level upgrade far exceeded Lu HaiKong's expectations, immediately consuming most of the skill experience he had accumulated.
Fortunately, after the consecutive level-ups, Lu HaiKong could clearly feel his strength increasing, and even Pei Yuanshao keenly noticed that Lu HaiKong had undergone a tremendous change in just a few breaths. The only pity was that Lu HaiKong's Strength remained stuck at 69 without budging.
"Interesting, very interesting, you little brat," Pei Yuanshao tightened his grip on the Great Saber, faintly sensing a hint of threat from Lu HaiKong.
"Are you ready to meet your end?" Lu HaiKong spoke up, asking word by word as he took a step forward.
"Meet my end? Don't joke, boy. It's you who will die!"
A flash of brilliance appeared in Pei Yuanshao's eyes, and the next moment, the two charged towards each other.
Pei Yuanshao clearly didn't hold Lu HaiKong in high regard, attacking casually with Basic Saber Technique, while Lu HaiKong countered with Basic Axe Technique.
"Boom!"
The Ghost Face Axe and Pei Yuanshao's Great Saber clashed head-on, and the two weapons produced a dull thunderous sound as if they had struck lightning. After their initial clash, both Pei Yuanshao and Lu HaiKong retreated two steps.
"Not bad, boy. You've got some strength, but strength alone won't cut it!"
"Stop blabbering. Is that all you can do?" Lu HaiKong coldly snorted, raising the Ghost Face Axe and continuing his assault.
"Hmph, I compliment you, and you get cocky. I'll show you my might!"
As Pei Yuanshao spoke, he brandished his Great Saber and engaged Lu HaiKong once again in fierce combat.
The two, one using Basic Saber Technique and the other Basic Axe Technique, fought with a resounding clash, and from the current battle, Lu HaiKong seemed to be subtly gaining the upper hand.
Just as Lu HaiKong and Pei Yuanshao were locked in combat, the troops behind Pei Yuanshao began to stir.
Zhang Xiong couldn't bear to see all the credit being snatched by Pei Yuanshao. Seeing Pei Yuanshao and Lu HaiKong entangled in a difficult battle, Zhang Xiong decided to seize the opportunity and capture the bandit cavalry that Lu HaiKong had brought.
